Uber offers to acquire Delivery Hero for $14.8 billion.
Uber launched a takeover bid for German food-delivery company Delivery Hero, valuing it at approximately $14.8 billion (€41.50 per share). The deal, supported by Delivery Hero's board and major shareholder Prosus, would create a food-delivery platform spanning 99 countries.

The transaction is expected to close in the second half of 2027.
